Case Study: VMware achieves $780,000 annual savings through rightsizing with Fortra's Vityl Capacity Management

VMware Rightsizing Saves $780,000 Annually

A European business solutions provider that delivers IT, sourcing, and office services was struggling with widespread virtual machine performance problems and no accurate overview of their infrastructure. The team discovered severe overprovisioning—an incident with a help‑desk tool and Vityl KPI heat maps showed about 180 of 200 VMs as unhealthy—and needed a way to identify real bottlenecks (CPU queuing, disk queuing, etc.) rather than reacting when things broke.

Using Vityl Capacity Management to right‑size their VMware environment, the team combined metrics like CoStop and %Ready with TPI and response components to pinpoint issues, reduce underperforming VMs from triple digits to four, and eliminate unnecessary capacity. The rightsizing effort avoided roughly $65,000 in infrastructure costs per month (about $780,000 annually), improved performance diagnostics and credibility with business units, and kept customers satisfied.
